Ebay Brushes Review

08:40

Hello everyone!

I am obsessed with buying make up brushes, i'm constantly on the hunt for new ones but I just hate the extra-ordinate price that comes with them! Apart from Real Techniques brushes, I never ventured into the world of Sigma, Zoeva etc simply because I couldn't bring myself to buy brushes worth so much. About a year ago I came across a few youtube videos stating there is a company on Ebay that are selling Sigma dupes at the fraction of the price, many of the reviews were positive, so with very little to lose I purchased myself some.

About The Product

The brand is called 'Jessup' and they offer many range of brushes, i've actually purchased three different sets from this company but i'll be focusing on this particular set today. As you can see, the set comes with ten brushes, five larger brushes for face and then five smaller brushes for the eyes. If you haven't noticed already, the small brushes are the exact same brush as the larger one but on a smaller scale.

(Starting from left to right)

1. TAPERED FACE BRUSH

As you can see from the first brush, this is tapered and extremely dense. I tend to use this for blending out my concealer and it works amazingly! This brush tends to blend out the concealer perfectly, while picking up the excess product. The tapered end of the brush really allows you to get into the corners of your eyes allowing a seamless blend.

2. FLAT TOP KABUKI

This brush has to be one of my favourites, many have compared it to be a dupe for the Sigma F80 however I can't really compare as I have never tried any brushes from Sigma. I use this for my foundation and it allows me to get such a flawless base and coverage. This is definitely my holy grail brush!

3. ROUND TOP

As this name suggests, its the classic round top brush perfect for blending out foundation. I don't usually tend to use this brush simply because I don't buff my foundation in circular motions but for those people who do, this would be a great brush!

4. ANGLED TOP KABUKI

This is actually similar to the flat top kabuki but instead its angled. I've also realised that this brush is not as dense so I tend to use this to lightly apply loose powder on my face.

5. ANGLED ROUND TOP

This again is similar to the round top brush but instead its angled. I don't have much use for this brush but I have given it to my mom who loves it for foundation.

6. SMALL TAPERED FACE BRUSH

I love this brush for either doing my nose contour or applying eyeshadow to my lower lash line.

7, 8, 9 AND 10. - BLENDING

I would love to include a detailed review of the remaining brushes but I tend to use this for blending out my eyeshadow. They are on the larger side so its perfect for blending in the upper crease, I wouldn't recommend it for tapered precise blending!.

Quality

I have had these brushes for well over a year and I can honestly say they're amazing! If you do look after these brushes, they will last you a long time. However, I would like to point out that I tend to buy from the sellers who are shipping from China as I have previously purchased some brushes from UK sellers and the quality was just not the same!

Price and Delivery

These brushes are £11 for all 10 with free delivery which I personally think is amazing! You can get them cheaper from other sellers but I tend to stick to the selleronmyway1975 as their brushes have never disappointed me! Delivery did take around 2-3 weeks but considering it was from China, that was expected and reasonable.

Overall thoughts

Overall I do love these brushes, they're great value for money and perform very well. I would definitely recommend checking these out and I will repurchase these again!

I love this! I'm always on the hunt for great brushes, but they are so expensive. I invested in a Sigma set once, but have yet to venture back because of the price. These sound amazing so I should totally try these out!

How much did the quality differ between the ones from China and ones from UK? This sounds like a fantastic product! I always love a good dupe. I will definitely be looking this up, I can always use some new brushes. Thanks for sharing!

That's so awesome, I definitely need to invest in some new brushes. I have 2 by Real Techniques and the rest are some cheap ones I've had for years. One of my brushes doesn't even have a handle haha so sometimes I just use my fingers. :S Thanks for sharing these particular brand!

I'm SO glad I came across this post, I'm saving it and then ordering these brushes . I'm desperately trying to get descent brushes but they're all so expensive ! This is such a brilliant deal and they sound great quality :)

So in love with your blog! You've got such a fresh style and it really is a pleasure to read it! Would you like to follow each other on GFC? If yes just let me know once done and I'll be right back! xoxoPatricia http://patriciacori.blogspot.ch

What a great post! I'm always looking for cheaper makeup brushes because I really can't wrap my brain over spend a whole lot of money on expensive brushes. I will have to check these out and it's great that you tested it over a the course of a year! Thanks for sharing!
